Product Information
Nests, Eggs, and Nestlings of North American Birds, Second Edition provides a thorough, species-by-species guide to the breeding biology of the birds of North America. Some 670 breeding species are described in full, covering the birds of a vast area, from the Arctic to the southern boundary of the continental United States. The main text presents complete basic information on the breeding cycle of each species, summarized in a natural sequence: nest habitat, nest-site, nest construction, breeding season, eggs, incubation and nesting and nestling period. More than 700 color and line illustrations provide valuable information on the identification of the nests, eggs, and nestlings of 597 species. The book covers perhaps the most fascinating aspects of North American bird life, their reproduction and the care of their young, essential elements in the survival of any species. The book summarizes all that is known of this crucial part of a bird''s life cycle, and by omission, points to what is yet unknown and may yet be discovered by the scientific ornithologist and birder alike. If your fascination in the nests, eggs, and nestlings of North American birds centers on identifying them in the field, you will find this book essential. If conservation is also a concern, you will appreciate the value of understanding the breeding requirements and biology of even the most common of species. This book will prove invaluable whatever your interest in North American birds. Key Features: Describes nests, eggs, and nestlings and gives basic biological information on nesting and breeding biology Includes up-to-date coverage of all breeding species found in North America, including Alaska and Canada in one comprehensive volume Contains more than 700 color and line illustrations of nests, eggs, and nestlings Species List by Family: Loons: Gaviidae.

This Work Is the Current Authority on Identifying Basic Bird Nidification, As Nest Making Is Termed., "An essential companion to students of breeding biology is Nests, Eggs, and Nestlings of North American Birds , by Paul J. Baicich and Colin J.O. Harrison. The book covers 670 species that breed from the Arctic to the Mexico border."-- Birder's World, An essential companion to students of breeding biology is Nests, Eggs, and Nestlings of North American Birds , by Paul J. Baicich and Colin J.O. Harrison. The book covers 670 species that breed from the Arctic to the Mexico border., "If you've ever had a question about the type of nest built by a certain species, the number of eggs laid or how long the babies will remain in the nest, this book will give you the answer. Even casual birders may find this book handy."-- Jennifer J. Meyer, Orange County Register, This is a fine guide and I certainly would not be without it if I lived in North America. ---Humphrey Q. P. Crick, British Birds, "If you've ever had a question about the type of nest built by a certain species, the number of eggs laid or how long the babies will remain in the nest, this book will give you the answer. Even casual birders may find this book handy." --Jennifer J. Meyer, Orange County Register, If you are into studying or searching for bird nests and identifying the occupants, this guide provides a wealth of details. . . .This is a great reference text. ---Robert E. Hoopes, Wildlife Activist, "This work is the current authority on identifying basic bird nidification, as nest making is termed."-- Library Journal, "I was happy to see the best source on the subject reissued. . . . [It] gives you non-intrusive entry into the breeding world of birds, a most interesting place."-- Jim Williams, Star Tribune, "If you are into studying or searching for bird nests and identifying the occupants, this guide provides a wealth of details. . . .This is a great reference text." ---Robert E.

Crick, British Birds, "This is a fine guide and I certainly would not be without it if I lived in North America." --Humphrey Q.P. Crick in BRITISH BIRDS "[The first edition of this book was] far better than the guide to birds nests by Hal Harrison in the well-known Peterson field guide series. All told, this book will be of great usefulness to field ornithologists, and, if larger than most field guides, it nonetheless is well worth hauling along in a knapsack or glove compartment. It also belongs in personal and institutional libraries, especially those lacking the earlier edition." --Paul A. Johnsgard in THE AUK "This good quality paperback provides a thorough species by species guide to the breeding biology of the birds of North America." --BIRD NEWS: SCOTTISH ORNITHOLOGIST'S CLUB NEWSLETTER "A valuable asset to anyone interested in nesting biology and the identification of eggs, nests and young." --BIRDERS JOURNAL "I believe that biologist and general reader alike will benefit from this revision of Nests and I am relieved to see this book back in print, so that the information contained within is again widely accessible." --Stacy Small in WESTERN BIRDS "In all, a job well done, and highly recommended as a concise and up-to-date summary of matters associated with bird nests and nesting." --Clive E. Goodwin in THE CANADIAN FIELD-NATURALIST (July 1999) "...the book is back! It has a nice new format but still contains all the great information found in the first edition. This book's second edition is every bit as good as the original one. Be sure to buy a copy - it will be one of the most useful books in your wild bird rehabilitation library!" --Bea Orendorff in THE NWRA QUARTERLY JOURNAL (1999) "If your wildlife rehabilitation work includes birds, from the Arctic circle to the Southern border of the United States, this book is a must for your library. It is a much improved edition over the original 1978 version, which was in itself a very useful book. This book will not only help you identify birds that are brought to your center, but those with wildlife helplines will use it until the pages fall out, advising callers on specifics such as incubation times or how long young will stay in the nest. By sharing even a tiny part of the natural history information given, you may be successful in preventing young birds from being removed from their natural site, while educating the public and yourself in the process." --Marge Gibson in JOURNAL OF WILDLIFE REHABILITATION (1999), "If you are into studying or searching for bird nests and identifying the occupants, this guide provides a wealth of details. . . .This is a great reference text." --Robert E. Hoopes, Wildlife Activist, "I was happy to see the best source on the subject reissued. . . . [It] gives you non-intrusive entry into the breeding world of birds, a most interesting place." --Jim Williams, Star Tribune, "If you've ever had a question about the type of nest built by a certain species, the number of eggs laid or how long the babies will remain in the nest, this book will give you the answer.
